Using a PIKE to Catch a Bigger PIKE!
Спорт
Well i like to do thinks a bit differently and in this video its the bait that's a bit odd. I decided to use a dead pike that i found as bait! Its a pike eat pike world out there. I use this big dead bait in the local river / creek where i use these dead baits to catch river crocks! I also use roach and sardines focusing on the slack waters and deep holes

Nice catch mate👍🍻 I like your choice of bait. Big bait= big fish. I canoed and fished a Municipal drainage ditch emptying from a large wetland prairie marsh in central Manitoba Canada during mid summer. We saw a large number of big pike but only caught many small 12-24" pike (we call them hammer handles) that strangely, upon hitting would all immediately head straight to the banks. I found out why further up at the control gate where you could see 36"-45"+ fish by the dozens streaming through the shallows, constantly. I found out that small pike were the main food supply for the lunkers and would hide out in the bank reeds to avoid their elders. Number 1 bait for catching the lunkers turned out to be 12-18" pike. They wouldn't even touch large pike lures and bucktails. A local gent I met laughed at my amazement & said this is nothing, he claimed during spring spawn you could walk across the ditch😅. I fear he wasn't exaggerating, I kid you not, it was worthy of a mini-documentary on nature, let alone fishing. The variety and sheer number of birds ducks geese & hawks alone was worth the trip. I went back a couple years later and it was typical prairie dry weather cycle, completely bone dry. Apparently this little known and even less fished marsh is a major but erratic pike breeding area for the Assiniboine River. It's many square miles of marshy maze & very easy to get lost in as channels change drastically with fluctuating water levels & plant growth. Now that GPS is more accurate and reliable, I hope to go back and canoe the marsh before I'm no longer able, & remember to bring a camera along...
Another great upload Chris, thanks. I've been using small pike as deadbaits since around 1986, when we saved euthanased pike from a trout river in N Ireland. They catch some mighty fine fish! Your last fish certainly looked heavier than 11lbs!!!!

Hi in from NI. Where do you recommend to catch big pike. I caught my first one today at lough mourne ioutside Carrick and then caught another 3 but were very small. Really enjoyed catching them though. Felt a lot different from trout
Right now I walk across two feet of Georgian Bay ice to get my pike . Your shows help get me through the rest of winter until I can cast again ! Thanks Muchacho keep your hook in the water .
Inspirational vid Chris, both on fish method as well as care for the pike, regards from Belgium going to try freelining myself as well
I Like the way the first big pike hung around for a second or two when you put him back, as if he was saying....Fanks for spraying me wounds mate :O)

Isn't sea fishing boring?for me fishing on rivers,lakes and other things which are implied in frashwater are 5x better,its more fun,fish are more atractive and for me its you know,you dont have fish which u can't cach,in the sea is really different and in frashwater fish are sweeter and tastier taste,im saying every1 like something but thats just my opinion
I just ordered a savage gear 3d pike to throw around. Thanks for showing us those circle hooks so much better. Cheers
Good session Chris learning loads you pretending to lick mackerel reminds me of many a drunken Saturday night😂😂😂😂😂
Pike fishing is so interesting , I have gone for about 7 sessions (all day ) trying to catch a pike with dead bait and a float we planked a few times but we have just caught out first golf pike about 9-10 pound , this is all because me and my brother watch your vids . Keep it up

You're a legend man. Love these videos 😉
I don't understand the thumbs down, I'm guessing it's because you used a PIke, not sure if they still do, but bait companies use to farm small jack pike as specialist baits back in the late 90's, I remember a company up north selling them frozen packed in 2's....if you find a dead jack, no point in wasting it, use it, circle of life and all that, its one of the best baits there is for catch large pike... I have, like Chris used every bait you can think of, from rats, dead pigeons, I even caught pike on raw sausages years ago! nice one Chris!!!
You are a real pro pike hunter! Awesome vid. Cheerse mate and tight lines! 🤝
Almost had a heart attack when your bag tipped over thought for sure that was going in the drink 😂 great video my friend *and reflexes* 😂

Top vid that. You have some great waters where you are. Here in Manchester, there are a few decent waters but no real decent rivers. The river Irwell behind my house has a few but they are well spread out. Always enjoy your vids, keep it up.
Quality fish ! well done. Your videos are always great
Cool vid mate, especially the way you take care of your catch, excellent 🙂
Small pike are a favourite food for large pike! They keep the numbers of small pike down, which is better for the other species in the river (or lake).
Interesting video again. That first big one looked like she had been a bigger fish, judging by the size of her head anyway, maybe had lost a bit of weight and condition due to that old mouth injury, but certainly looking better now. Thanks for sharing your session and keep up the good work. Cheers
Fair play Chris, some nice fish there buddy 👍
Hello fisherman, not only are you a good fisherman but a good man as well, I watched your video when you took care of the pike that you caught, and you helped this fish with some sort of spray which i thought was great helping this good looking pike, a proper good thing to do, keep up your fishing videos. Brother Carl away
Great video and fish you have caught Chris!
Brilliant vid again Ginge I gotta say I really like the look of those circle hooks and the fact that they inflict less damage on the pike. Can you tell me what glasses you use please mate. Great channel keep em rollin.
Another great vid Chris of a pretty great session. A couple of doubles in one day is always worthy. And when that first one packs on weight for spawning in Feb/March I'm pretty sure you're right. She'll be 20 or close. Go get her then mate.😉
This is the best catch and release I've ever seen.
Just ordered some circle hooks Chris. I'll let you know how I get on. A couple of lovely ladies you had there.

We have Chain Pickerel where I live in MD USA. They’re related to Pike but much smaller. That looks like a blast!! You’ve inspired me to get my fishing gear out again. To much bad stuff on the news.
Amazing! That second pike dint wanna leave ya after u took care of its old wound.....
i tell you what you must have the greatest eyes in the universe to see fish in that detail from that far ////
Another good video Chris 👍👍. You never strike when using Circle hooks, just tighten down . I had a right bollocking off a skipper whilst Tope fishing, we'd been out for a few hours and had nothing, I got a good run and in the excitement I struck, only to pull the bait from its mouth. Haven't done it since 🙈🙈🙈👍👍
great video Chris, keep up the good work.
Great session and Great catches live the videos dude !!!! the dead pike was awesome !!!!!!
I remember catching a 4lb pike and as i got it near the bank a huge pike that looked about 30lb plus grabbed it and made a huge swirl and took it right out, i couldn't stop it, was like a train, spent about 3/4 of an hour playing it, then it dived with the pike so deep and snapped my line, was amazed. I just caught a 27lb one that morning, that felt like a 40lb do'er. I then caught another jack about 3 and half and used as bait, had to throw it out as couldn't cast with that weight. Big pike are ruthless haha.
I’m trying this asap. Awesome!
Thats a massive pike. Wow congrats. Ive yet to catch one. 32 years old. Walleye my biggest was 4 inch baby thats it. Ive always wanted to catch a monster pike
Love how you look after the fish.
Hey love your videos some days ago I got subscribed...GOD BLESS YOU SIR SIR !
Pike fight best during the late summer. Taking spinners and plugs with great enthusiasm. Winter pike fishing is by comparison a dire affair. Fish when the fish are feeding!!!
Hi. Great video as always. I guess you spend quite a bit of time in chest waders with much of your underwater filming. Can I ask which brand you have and are they PVC or neoprene? If pvc, do you suffer from condensation build up inside? Thanks
i can't stop watching this video :))
Hey man nice video. Just a bit of KZread amusement, if you turn on the c captions from 9.30 onwards you get applauds as you lift the fish out of the water.
12:51 was horrible, but I laughed quite a bit.
dude catching more pike in a day than me in a year lol
Back in '64, several obnoxious Michigan woodchucks who all claimed to be gamblers named Earl enjoying a four day combination sightseeing tour of Hamtramck and re-enactment of the Peloponnesian Wars encased me in concrete and killed me. I sure miss fishing.
You should keep doing stuff like this and especially filming it, your good at it!
Lovely video again. Please don't stop with this videos
This Sounds Like FRIENDLY FIRE
The most important parts of fishing are to respect the fish and their treatment as much as possible in fishing context and respect the waterways, clean up after yourself and remove any waste/rubbish you find from previous idiots! I always check over fish I catch, remove any parasites and treat any wounds and ALWAYS take home any rubbish/ discarded tackle I find. If all of us fishermen do this we’ll have healthy fish stock and healthy waters ! Like your videos 👍
Great video Chris 👍
Your my favourite fishing KZreadr
Thanks for the show :)) very good
Nice pike good to see a healthy pike fishery sadly all my local waters have drastically declined due mainly to cormorants
Hi, very new to predator fishing so found a few of your videos really helpful! Would you be able to give me a breakdown on what equipment you use? Also would you use a different rod for spinning compared to dead baiting?
12:51. All I have to say. 🤣

Beautiful, big and fighting Pikes :) I like it
Nice and interesting! I live in France, and it's forbidden to use small pikes as baits. We have legal minimum sizes to keep them (from 50cm to 70cm in general, depending of the place). Some small rivers with wild trouts don't have those minimal legal sizes, as pikes as considered detrimental/invasive species in those small streams. BUT in this case, it's forbidden to use them as baits. Best regards from FrogsLand ;).
nice catch there.... no one wants to mention the elephant in the room? that background music this time is crazy lol.....) good video as always. use other songs by the group!
Another great video bud , what Polaroid glasses would you recommend ?
Once read an article many years ago by TV personality Chris Tarrant. Don't remember the exact details but he recalled having once caught quite a large pike in an Irish lake trolling with a 3lbs jack
awesome fishing as always those pike were top notch.
Now that's what we call here in the States a honey hole. wow I wish I had me a place nearby I could catch pike like that, great catch and video. 👍

No kidding. If you've ever seen the very young ones 2-3" long, hunting in the shallows, they are like mini barracudas and are already attacking their smaller siblings. They attack everything.

Très jolie démonstration , mon ami ! Tu as de la chance d'avoir une rivière aussi riche en brochet !! Bravo superbe démonstration de pêche.
Beautiful color
Pike will eat anything…like a mini fresh water shark.
Great video. I'm gonna give pike fishing a go in a month or so. I've never done it and will probably try spinning. Personally, I'd never use a livebait, I just don't like the idea of it. I also would never use a course deadbait either, I never kill any fish. I'd buy sea fish from the local Mozzers to try deadbaiting. Anyway, these vids are great and certainly fill me with the hope that I might be able to break my pike duck :)

Don't think you need big baits for big pike. I caught my PB 3 months ago (Although small compared to many other's PBS, 16.5lb measuring 78cm from top to bottom. Caught on the smallest spinner I own on the lightest rod (5-10g) I own, Was literally packing up after a day with only 1 pike strike breach on a top water mouse previously and no other fish. Just wanted a couple of small perch so I could go home happy. Thought I got caught in weed as the fish didn't fight at all and felt just like a dead weight. Also you mentioned not dead baiting because you don't want to kill the fish, that's fair enough. Sometimes things happen though. I've had dead fish float down the river which i've managed to net and use, i've also had a greedy perch that insisted on swallowing hooks so deep it's irretrievable. In these cases, You may feel it better to use the fish to your advantage rather than simply throwing it back
